On August 5th, netizen B shared an online post titled “Help Us Against the Celebrity Couple Scammers”with the public.
B stated that in addition to the beauty salon incident, the couple was also involved in a fraudulent luxury goods distribution course and a scam targeting a luxury department store boutique.
B stated that the couple had conducted three rounds of funding on Wadiz by falsely claiming that they could train individuals to sign contracts with Italian boutiques using minimal investments.
Despite being advertised differently, the courses were not carried out as planned. Following their investment proposals to the participants, the couple reportedly disappeared with the corporate shares and investment funds, severing all communication. Several participants encountered indefinite sales suspensions when attempting to establish stores on Naver, while others were left without the promised goods. In addition, a lawsuit has been ongoing since 2021 as the couple failed to reimburse the deposit for a high-end boutique in a department store. It is estimated that the damages from this fraudulent scheme alone surpass 1 billion won.
B also noted that during the first round of funding, participants had raised concerns to Wadiz about discrepancies in the curriculum and an ongoing lawsuit related to a department store deposit. Despite these warnings, a second round of funding was conducted, resulting in a larger number of victims. The individuals responsible for these fraudulent activities continue to operate under various family names. Due to A’s relatively low profile as an actress, it has been challenging to raise awareness about this issue.
The couple A is facing allegations of receiving haircare services valued at 3.5 million won from a beauty salon in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. These services were reportedly provided to their family and lawyer without any payment.
